This course is part of the series of courses on health research offered by ICMR-NIE. Systematic reviews, as a method of conducting research synthesis, are becoming common. They provide much needed evidence in areas which lack a concrete consensus and are considered cornerstones of forming practice and policy guidelines. This course was born out of the need felt among dental health professionals across the country to understand the basic principles of conducting a systematic review. Over the course of our lectures, the participants will be able to grasp the most essential steps and understand the various activities involved while carrying out a systematic review. We expect the course to be useful to dental health professionals who have minimal to no exposure to systematic reviews.
The instructors for this course
comprise of a variety of public health experts who have gained vast experience
in the field of health research. They also serve as faculty members at the ICMR
School of Public Health of the ICMR-National Institute of Epidemiology,
Chennai, India. These faculty members have been conducting
epidemiological/public health research and have rich experience in publishing
high impact factor, national and international journals.
